Here's a quick post to placate the masses. :)Emmy is so close to coming home! There was just a bit of discrepancy yesterday about her weight, so we're not quite sure how close she is.
She was moved to a bassinet, as we expected, on Wednesday night after Charles left following her 10 p.m. feeding. Then when I went in yesterday at 2 p.m. her day nurse said she'd lost a little weight, so they thought she was burning a lot of calories trying to stay warm so the doctor decided they should put her back in the isolette and let her get to 1700 grams (about 3 lbs 12 oz) before they'd take her out again. I was a little surprised, but okay. And then...
We went in at 10 p.m. and she had the same nurse, Felicia, she's had the last several nights. She was floored that they said she'd lost weight, because she was certain she had not and had gone back and checked her chart and was trying to convince Dr. Bartley that she's ready to be out. So much so in fact her temp was high earlier in the evening, so Felicia turned it way down, loosened her blankets, and finally just gotten an order to turn off the heat altogether again just as we arrived. She was really confused about the discrepancy and she said she'd been certain she'd come in last night and Emmy would be home! She said her day nurse was saying she'd lost 90 grams, so a little over 3 ounces and that really surprised me even more.
So, we're not sure what to expect out of today. If she needs to stay another couple of days, fine, but we're anxious to sort this out. Hopefully today has brought more clarity and we'll have more news later on this afternoon.
